AO: sparta
Q: Pop Fly
PAX: Nano, K-Pop, Peanuts
FNGs: None
COUNT: 4
WARMUP: Micheal Phelps and Willie Mays Hays are not the same person

THE THANG: The Mogadishu Mile. 4 rounds, as a group. Start together, end together.
The entire exercise routine is performed while keeping a hold of your coupon. You never take your hands off. – 20x Kettlebell Swings
– 20x Squats
– 20x Cross-over Merkins
– 1x Lap with Coupon.
REPEAT 3 more times

19 reps for those who died, and one rep for sergeant Bob Gallagher

MARY: K-Pop was immediately confused when I called him out on not having anything in his toolkit other than the American hammer. He made us pay for that one. Lunges, to a low squat hold, to a low plank, to a right plank, followed by a left plank. At some point along the way Peanuts noticed that his turn was a little bit longer than normal. We did some other exercises after that.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: The Grunt is 9 November

COT: The Q relay the story of the Mogadishu mile, and that of Sergeant Bob Gallagher, who later became the Q’s CSM. Sergeant Gallagher was there that day, and probably some of the wounds that he took both physically and mentally stayed with him. You never know what struggle someone is the one with and sometimes just sharing with others is enough.
